LiveOps operates what it calls "the world’s largest virtual call center," providing both a complete solution with on-demand applications, and the actual home-based agents.

 

“LiveOps’ On-Demand Call Center Platform and Applications are leading edge solutions that are fundamentally changing how call centers operate. I am excited to have Jeremy join LiveOps to oversee our technology as we expand aggressively in the enterprise call center market,” said Maynard Webb, CEO of LiveOps. “Jeremy brings deep experience in designing, managing and scaling the development of innovative platforms like LiveOps.”
